We have seen, in the series, an Islamist suicide bomber (modern day); British soldiers who liberated a concentration camp being ordered to copy the Nazis; Irgun attacking British soldiers (This one still hurts. I remember my father telling me about them.); peaceniks on all sides; an unfair repesentation of the 'Wall'; a high degree or prdjudice and tension on both modern day sides and ditto for all sides post-war etc.etc. The series is not finished and I am not at all sure where it will end.<br /><br />The UK betrayal of Israel is clearly portrayed.<br /><br />So far, I cannot dismiss 'The Promise' as propaganda. It may prove to be so, but the (fair-minded) jury is still out as all the evidence is not yet in.<br /><br />Wait for next Sunday. It is also very well written drama.Ian Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-72087673463689269822011-02-22T04:16:51.007+11:002011-02-22T04:16:51.007+11:00Hi, Juniper - sorry, I meant to thank you for your...Hi, Juniper - sorry, I meant to thank you for your comment but got sidetracked.<br /><br />The peerless and fearless Melanie Phillips has recognised the importance of Edgar's post:<br />http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/6719200/the-oldest-obsession.thtmlDaphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-17382963897265753512011-02-21T22:41:22.224+11:002011-02-21T22:41:22.224+11:00Last year I was doing research on anti-Semitism in...Last year I was doing research on anti-Semitism in education. Went onto the Cambridge University GCSE site. they had reams of stuff, subjects for study by 14-16 year olds regarding Gaza, all completely politicised. Strangely when I went back to the site a few days later, it had been removed.<br />I wonder if these schools are too frightened to complain; do they not check the syllabuses before embarking on them?Juniper in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05708630426785072160noreply@blogger.com
